I had a mixed experience at the Danubius Hotel Astoria City Center during my stay. On one hand, the location is excellent, making it easy to explore Budapest and enjoy a fantastic breakfast with lots of options. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness and upkeep of my room, which left a lot to be desired. The ambiance is charming but could use some updates.

My room was clean and comfortable, but it definitely felt a bit outdated. I noticed some issues with the bathroom not being cleaned properly, which was frustrating. I did enjoy the spacious layout and the high-quality furnishings, but it needs a bit of a refresh to match the charming historical vibe.

I found the service to be inconsistent. While some staff members were friendly and helpful, I encountered a few who seemed overwhelmed, leading to a less than warm experience during check-in. If all staff had the same level of attentiveness, my experience would have been much better.

This hotel is right in the city center, close to everything from restaurants to cultural sites. It's perfect for public transport access, making it easy to get around. That said, it's quite noisy, especially at night with traffic and music from nearby bars.

Dining

Breakfast had a good range of options, but I found it a bit expensive. The restaurant served decent meals, though I thought the goulash was too oily and lacking flavor. Live music during dinner was a nice touch.

Facilities

The hotel had all the basic facilities, and it was generally clean, but I would have appreciated a more modern shower option instead of a bathtub. There was a nice lounge area where I could relax and study maps.
